Max and Hunter Mushing Adventures

Wow, these two are amazing. We havent been able to run for 6 days (had a neutered husky on max sedatives and observation). Normally, we are too crazy if we dont run every day. But these guys have been watching me walking a post-surg pup around every day, patiently waiting around and lounging respectfully. Huskys aren't patient! This was a very special gift and I SO thank them!
We didnt have our 3rd happy go lucky companion today (still recovering fully), so the lines i made for 3 dogs are sagging and dragging on the ground too much. So, we found a way to just tie off in the cab and let the bungee hang high. This was mile 8 of 10 and they dont pull much by now.
Tundra, I call him Hunter, on the left has been mushing about 3 mo now. Max, on the right, has been mushing about 7 years now. I never taught them the "over" command and you can see an opportunity presents itself during the last part of the video. Hunter sees a jack rabbit on the left! In spirit, his head is exploring everywhere but on the lines. His body trots forward magically with some kind of hidden intelligence. Max has always been "all business" on the trail. He maintains a purposeful 5mph trot and is an excellent pacesetter for Hunter. Max looks forward and has an appointment somewhere in Alaska that we should have left for...yesterday. He can cruise all day like this. It is a great conditioning exercise and a very happy ending for these rescue dogs! ❤
